It has been a month since show. Things are going really well & it feels good to have energy back in the gym. My energy levels were pretty low & my lifts weren't anything special the last few weeks before show. It is nice to be able to increase weight again and hit some new PRs.
Finding balance post show can be hard. Going from being really strict & structured to having lots of flexibility can be really weird & initially this made me feel really uncomfortable & anxious. I really enjoy & thrive off of having a plan/structure. I have set rough weekly goals to help me with this. My current goal is to track my food about 5 days a week and allow myself to have two untracked days. I don't eat a bunch of sugar & processed food these days (because that stuff makes me feel sick), but it is nice to have a break from tracking. Also, it is definitely nice to have more flexibility and be able to be more social in regards to food.
Overall, I am really excited about how things are going. I am eating upwards of 2700 calories daily & doing no cardio. This past Saturday I weighed in at 133.5 lbs. I really want to break 140 lbs before my next cut.
Much love & lifting,
Leah
